hi everyone...new to the site and need help. i have an existing one half acre pond that i have never really managed in terms of fish populations and have an overabundance of bluegill...i am going to stock bass (2-4 inch)in a couple of weeks and according to the table i looked at the ratio of bass to bluegill should be about 1 to 5 per acre for a new or renovated pond. my question is short of starting over,do i have a chance to eventually balance the bass/bluegill populations by maybe stocking more bass initially or will the bluegill just eat all of the bass fry when they reach spawning age? i don't have access to any larger bass and no great way to deal with the existing fish to reduce their numbers(can probably remove alot by hook and line if it would be helpful...)any guidance would be a big help. thank you.
